God's Eyes

Chapter 134 - High

Suddenly a dark-blue anvil appeared out of nowhere, landing on the ground, almost cracking up the ground due to the immense weight it possessed. The anvil was large enough to reach Jason?s waist and radiated calm and tranquil mana.

Luckily they were within a forging room which was required to hold out some weight, otherwise, Jason would have never taken out the heavy anvil again.

He had already destroyed the entrance hall?s floor which made him already uncomfortable.

Cheng, carefully inspected the stone weapons with runes on them, when he turned around in shock once he heard the loud particular sound generated by crashing on the floor, he immediately knew that it was something extremely valuable.

But once he saw the anvil, his breathing stopped and he slowly staggered towards the anvil without saying a single word as sweat pearls appeared on his forehead.

Antalia noticed her father's weird behavior she had never seen before and frowned because she couldn't really detect anything exceptional from the anvil.

But Jason was pleasantly surprised after seeing Cheng?s behavior because Shane behaved similarly but more restrained before he told Jason what exactly the anvil was.

After Shane told him what exactly the anvil was, Jason didn't want to sell it anymore which Shane rejected.

Shane said his anvil it better and Jason was in dire need of star notes to increase his cultivation faster.

As such selling, the anvil would be much better, because Jason wouldn't need it anyway.

Before Cheng could say anything, he was once again shocked by Jason?s next words

"That?s a pseudo-mana peak grade-3 cloud titanium anvil and it has the effect to calm the blacksmith's mind, while additionally tempering the ingots shaped on it."

Cheng?s legs almost gave in hearing that and looking at Jason's calm expression, he wondered what kind of terrifying youth his daughter brought to him.

`Tycoon!` was the only thought running through his mind, while his determination to obtain the cloud titanium anvil soared.

He searched for new forging equipment for a long time and this anvil in front of him was one of the best things he could ever get the hand on, considering the connections he had throughout the Archipelago and some parts of Canir.

There was only one extremely big issue…the price!!

Cheng frowned deeply, as he knew that he didn?t have enough funds to purchase such a treasure, even though he had amassed a small fortune over the last few years.

He paled slightly and looked at Jason uncertain.

"I want all of it..but what about the price?" Cheng asked, hesitating slightly which caused Antalia to look at both Jason and Cheng taken aback.

She wanted to boast about her father being the president of the Artisan tower, but now it seemed like her own father was trying to curry favor with Jason, a common student?

This seemed extremely weird and shocked her to the core as her father was normally extremely prideful.

Jason looked at Cheng and wasn't sure what exactly to say...Shane hadn?t told him the price for the cloud titanium anvil which caused him now to frown.

Cheng saw Jason?s frown and the sweat pearls on his temples thickened as he wanted the anvil in front of him, even if he had to take a loan.

"10.000 Star notes? How about that??? But I don't have enough on my hand right now... It will take some time to gather all of them…"

Chen offered and Antalia cried out in shock "WHAAT!!!!!!", while Jason could only hardly contain his expression.

He knew that Grade-3 weapons for example were worth a few hundred million credits, which was equivalent to a few star notes, and considering that the cloud titanium anvil was a pseudo-magic grade-3 object, Jason had thought he would probably get something between 300 to 500-star notes, which were more than enough for him.

But 10.000-star notes… that were 1 trillion credits and Jason?s eyes bulged unconsciously, thinking about this fortune and he could only look at Cheng with shock.

"No" Jason could only faintly say which caused Cheng to look even more desperate.

"How about 10.500-star notes? I don?t have more, even if I take a loan..."

But Jason had to regain his senses before he could say

"No, 10.000-star notes are more than enough, but can I exchange the star notes with other necessities?" Jason asked, also beginning to sweat...

What was the use of a fortune, if he couldn't purchase anything in bulk which was quite difficult as a common student.

Considering this, Jason had to use Cheng as his sole connection to obtain things.

Cheng?s tension slightly eased up "Yes, yes!! That's definitely possible. Please state what you need…"

But Jason's mind was almost empty and he couldn't really think of much, what he needed right off the bat when a few materials appeared in his mind.

"I only need around 1000 Star notes, 50% Mana stones ranging from grade 1 to 3 in large quantities, a few of dark iron, jade iron, tanzanite, magic silver, star sand, a bunch of magical ranked mana cores from all kinds of elements, including spatial, light and darkness, grade-1 blood essences, a large quantity of Nightshade flowers, blaze maples, stonecrops, radiant twigs, Creola azaleas, mountain peony, hideous bee honey, .... And a ton grade-2 soil"

Before Jason knew, he had already stated dozen of things he needed, and unconsciously Antalia, had opened up her holographic screen to write down all things he stated.

Looking over the list, she began to frown deeply.

These were all items used for Rank-0 to Rank-3 Artisans from all three occupations and gardeners.

With this, she could only wonder what Jason wanted to do with so many materials.

"Ah! And I would like to change the storage device of my quantum bracelet to a more advanced one which includes a larger storage device with a preservation function. I hope that is possible. If I ask for too much, I hope the rune inscribed weapons are enough to compensate for it."

Jason tried to make a generous face but Antalia could only curse in her mind

'Ya!! DOn?t you think your a little bit over the top?!' but before she could say anything her father showed a radiating smile and answered

"DEAL!" while holding his hand out to shake Jason?s

It didn't take Cheng long to consider this deal, as he would never find such a treasure like a cloud titanium anvil ever again, except on Canir maybe...

However, the prices there were even more devastating for such treasures because of the big families that tried to monopolize everything and he was even more glad that he could trade with a large number of low-grade materials, as the merchants he knew would give him a discount for bulk purchases.

In the end, he would pay the most for the mana stones, as the merchant trading them gave the smallest discount.

Thinking everything over, Cheng calculated that he would have to pay Jason at most 9.000 star notes which was a discount of 10%, and even if he would have to pay more, it would definitely be fine with him.

Signing a contract, both Cheng and Jason seemed to be pleased with the outcome.

Cheng obtained a pseudo-mana peak grade-3 anvil that increased his chances to enter the Grandmaster Blacksmith rank(6th) and Jason received a fortune worth of materials.

Thinking about the herbs and plants he would receive soon, Jason decided to plant them into his conservatory in order to let them grow and stay fresh.

Maybe he could even obtain some harvest from them, as Jason would at first learn how to forge from Shane, which was still a month or so away.

Before he would learn how to forge, Shane told him that he had to memorize all the important aspects from the bulk of books he sent him.

Only after some time passed, he would really start to forge and to learn that, he would require a mountain of materials as mastering anything could only learn how to forge out of failures.

There has never been a master falling from the sky, except unfortunate cases that ended bloody.

Before Jason would go to school, Cheng told him to follow him in order to change out his quantum bracelet?s storage device.

Cheng manufactured a special quantum watch together with a fellow runemaster not long ago with a large storage device which he wanted to give it to Jason.

The quantum bracelet was made out of peak grade-2 and low-grade-3 materials and completely black in color, while the storage device had a space of 100mx100mx10m which was 40 times the size of his former storage device.

One could say that it was a present from Cheng to Jason and he thanked Cheng politely which shocked the Rank-5 blacksmith.

'Why is this youth so polite to a nobody like me? Does he not understand that I want to gain his favor?' he thought without even considering that Jason's background could be shallow.

If Cheng knew that Jason was an orphan without any wealth, he would wonder how a treasure like a cloud titanium anvil got into his hands.

With his newly obtained quantum bracelet, Jason left the Artisan tower after the configuration was done.

Now, Jason was finally able to download all files sent by Shane and Dalia from his large memory stick.

While waiting for the shuttle, he received a notification from Antalia

with a weird emote behind that almost caused Jason to throw up.

`Isn't she a little bit too old to throw herself at a 14-year-old student?` Jason thought as he opened one book sent by Dalia and Shane.
